I agree one hundred percent with everything you said. The whole podcasting was really confusing but in the end it all ties together. You made a good point with everyone dropping hints about the possible switch of kids, and nobody really paid attention to them. Their lives really would have changed and been so different no matter which family they had ended up with, but everything that happened, happened for a reason and it worked out for everyone. I feel like Mary the mother got the closure she needed from this situation when she was able to tell us out loud that she had thoughts of telling the kids about the switch, but Norbert didn't want her to. I think that this podcast helped her get closure and speak her truth without any repercussions. I’m glad that Sue and Marti were able to try and get along and go to family events together, and have both sides of the family in those cases, kind of accept that their family may be a little different, but they’re both a MacDonald and a Miller. Like most of the podcasts, this one was very hard to follow with how many names there were, especially considering there were two Bob’s in this story, and the two different families were hard to separate when listening to the podcast.
